Q: Why are some 3-blade broad heads inaccurate?
A: The design of some 3-blade broad heads is not conducive to accurate shooting with a crossbow.
Some broad heads have extremely large surface area, blade shape, or other design characteristics
that, when used on an arrow shaft of 20" or less, will not fly well.
The shorter the arrow you are shooting, the more difficult it is to get extremely tight groups with
some broad heads. If the heads have too much surface area or a very large cutting diameter, they
will plane easily from catching air in flight.
Q: What type of arrows should I use with my crossbow?
A: When using a Revolution XS, Revolution, or Quad 400 a 22” carbon shaft with half moon ock
is recommended. (The total grain weight of the arrow should be about 475.)
When using the Quad 300 (also may use the 22” carbon listed above), Rhino Quad, Rhino Sport
Magnum, and Wildcat C5 a 20" carbon shaft with half moon nock is recommended. (The total
grain weight of the arrow should be about 454.)
When using the Panzer V, RX-150, RC-150, Wildcat III, Wildcat XL, Ranger, Rhino Recurve, or
Commando II Recurve, 16" 2216 shaft with half moon nock is recommended (Stay with a total
grain weight of about 372).
It is always recommended that you use Barnett arrows.
Q: What size dovetail is on the scope mount?
A: The size of the dovetail on all Barnett crossbows is 3/8".
